About this book
The Development of Metaphysics in Persia includes a section headed Persian Dualism within a part devoted to Pre-Islamic Persian Philosophy. The investigation declares its purpose to be a glance at the metaphysical side of Zoroaster's revelation, rather than tracing the origin and growth of his religious system. An argument described in the discussion holds that judgments about the non-existent make the non-existent knowable, indicating that nothing is not absolutely nothing.
Al-Kātibī objects that impossible things are known yet do not externally exist. Al-Rāzī criticises Al-Kātibī's argument by saying that essence exists in the mind and yet is known as external. The account of spirit denies a necessary relation between spirit and body, and describes spirit as non-temporal, non-spatial, changeless, and capable of judging visible multiplicity.
